Unit History
The 310th Infantry Regiment was constituted on 5 August 1917 in the National Army and assigned to the 78th Division. It was organized at Camp Dix, New Jersey, and participated in major campaigns during World War I, including the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. After the war, the regiment was demobilized in June 1919 at Camp Dix. The 310th Infantry was reconstituted in the Organized Reserves in 1921 and again assigned to the 78th Division. During World War II, the regiment was ordered into active military service on 15 August 1942 and reorganized at Camp Butner, North Carolina. The 310th Infantry Regiment participated in campaigns in Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, and Central Europe. Following the end of World War II, the regiment was inactivated on 22 May 1946 at Camp Kilmer, New Jersey. It has since undergone several reorganizations and continues to serve as a training unit in the U.S. Army Reserve.
